MORALITY PLAYS
A brief look at medieval morality plays! Because who doesn't love a good play about morals?
Morality plays-also labeled as moralitas, mysteries, or cycle plays-were written and performed in medieval & renaissance English, French, and Dutch territories from around 1500. These plays, according to Dr. Stephen Ney, didn’t aim to portray the external, physical world realistically, but rather were used to reinforce a moral (and most likely Christian) inner world. For more reading, sources, and info on one of the most famous morality plays, Everyman, check the blog out later tonight!

THE WOLVES BY SARAH DELAPPE
February 22-24 & 27 - March 2, 2019
Left quad. Right quad. Lunge. A girls indoor soccer team warms up. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors. A portrait of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls who just want to score some goals.
YOU ON THE MOORS NOW BY JACLYN BACKHAUS
April 11-14 & 16-18, 2019
This crazy, funny show sets heroines from the 19th-century novels of Louisa May Alcott, Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters, in a mythical place of Moors. When our heroines receive proposals of marriage, they decide to escape. The men wage war on the women starting the Moors Wars.
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts.
William Shakespeare
